After doing a clean install of Ubuntu Intrepid last night (which went quite smooth as expected), almost everything kept working, except the combination of Mozilla Thunderbird and Lightning. I’ve been using this combination for a while now, since I was looking for a good replacement for my calendar software. I think it’s a killer combination with the Google Calendar functionality.
I’ve been thinking about this post for a while, because I wasn’t really sure what to write about my past 5 years. So much has happened and there is so much to mention, but that would mean this would be a longggggg post. I’ll just create a (short) summary of my entire story for now.
Blogging has not been one of my priorities these past couple of months as you might have noticed. I’ve been so busy at the Hippo office and at customers, that I was unable to find some decent time to start a new blog post.
The ApacheCon Europe has landed and the first day is already behind us. This morning I arrived at the conference location in Amsterdam for a full day of sessions. Monday and Tuesday were mainly filled with meetups, hackathons and training sessions, which I was unable to attend, but today was reserved for some interesting talks.
Some of you might have seen the news out there on the web, but for those that did not, Hippo has expanded it’s borders to the US! Last week it all became final and Hippo bought BlueSunrise.
